About the Book

Marshall Field built the largest department store in the world at the time, and his architect, Daniel Burnham, following Field's dictum of dazzling the customer with opulence, created a store unmatched in elegance. Influenced by the Florentine palazzi of the Renaissance, Beaux-Arts monumentalism, and the Chicago School, the exterior of Marshall Field's radiated a luxury that only hinted at the elegance inside. An extravagantly beautiful Louis Tiffany tesserae dome poured light onto all who entered; a soaring balcony allowed women to see and be seen. Field's was as close to a temple of commerce as any building has ever come.

First in a new series of books Pomegranate is publishing with the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Marshall Field's is a must for anyone who has ever been dazzled by Field and Burnham's creation.
